Japan TELEC Certification Radio Equipment Type Approval For Radio Frequency Equipment

Japan TELEC certification
Certification introduction
Japan’s certification for radio frequency equipment is called Radio Equipment Type Approval. The official control agency is MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) of Japan. The main certification agency is TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center) designated by MIC. There are also RF Technologies /JQA/SGS/ITS/TUV/UL, etc., there are a total of 12 certification agencies, so it is usually called TELEC certification. It is also called MIC certification, RF certification, GITEKI certification, and technical fitness certification, which is similar to the domestic SRRC certification.

TELEC certification follows Japan's Radio Law, and the specific test specifications follow MIC (Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Notice No. 88 regulations. According to the requirements of Japan's "Radio Wave Law", the production, sale, and operation of wireless equipment in Japan must comply with technical regulations approved by MIC, and it is mandatory to apply for a type approval certificate (ie TELEC certification) for radio equipment.

Instructions for TELEC certification, GITEKI certification, MIC certification and MARK technical fitness certification
·TELEC certification and GITEKI certification
The full name of Japan's TELEC is TELECom Engineering Center. It is the certification agency of the "Radio Wave Act" recognized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan. In 2014, the TELEC organization also obtained the certification qualification of the "Electrical Communications Business Act". Now, in popular terms, TELEC certification is equivalent to GITEKI certification. .

·TELEC certification and MIC certification
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan is abbreviated as MIC, and its full English name is Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is the regulatory agency for Japan's "Radio Wave Law" and "Electrical Communications Business Law". Generally speaking, MIC certification is equivalent to TELEC certification.

·TELEC certification and MARK technical fitness certification
After passing the TELEC certification, the product can be printed with the GITEKI logo. GITEKI comes from the Japanese name for certification: "techie マーク". The Japanese characters spell GITEKI in romaji, so GITEKI certification is also called technology certification. GITEKI certification and Technical fitness certification is just a different name.

Certification classification
TELEC certification includes test certification (Test Certification) and type certification (Type Certification). Test certification is verified for each equipment unit, and the certification is only valid for each verified equipment unit;
Type certification refers to the verification of samples of a batch of equipment of the same design and manufacture. The certification is valid for this batch of equipment, but if the design or manufacturing of the equipment changes, the equipment will need to be re-certified.

It is worth noting that the use of non-low-power radio stations and their terminal equipment requires application for a license from the MIC. In addition, there are two situations for compliance certification of telecommunications terminal equipment:
· For ordinary telephone equipment, JATE certification only needs to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Telecommunications Business Act;
· For wireless terminal equipment, in addition to JATE certification required by the Telecommunications Business Act, TELEC certification is also required according to the Radio Act.
Applicable product range
TELEC certification is for wireless radio frequency products including: Bluetooth products, ZigBee products, telemeters, WiFi products, wireless microphones, pagers, LTE·RFID (2.4GHz, 920MHz) products, UWB radio systems, GSM products, etc.
application process
1. Fill in the application form and prepare information and samples
2. The testing agency reviews the information and preliminarily tests the samples
3. The testing agency formally applies to an institution recognized by the MIC of the Ministry of General Affairs.
4. Institutional review documents
5. Sample testing and providing test report (can be tested by authorized laboratory)
6. After the documents and test reports are passed, Japan MIC will issue the certificate.
Application materials
1. Technical model specification table
2. Quality management system statement
3. Quality control confirmation method or manufacturer’s ISO 9001 certificate
4. Confirmation letter of construction guarantee
5. Rated power statement
6. Antenna report
7. Test report including test results, photos of test setup and inspections performed)
8. Block diagram, schematic, bill of materials, parts placement, IC data sheet, interior and exterior photos, product description, user manual, operating/technical instructions, accessory instructions)
9. Tag information (tag location, tag content)
10. If you are an agent or authorized representative of the manufacturer, you also need a letter of authorization/authorization letter
Certificate information
TELEC certification
Certification fee
The cost of TELEC certification varies according to different products and functions. For example, if a product has Bluetooth, WIFI function, or 2.4GHz function, the cost will be different depending on the number of functions. Even Bluetooth single-mode and dual-mode have different costs. Specific TELEC certification fees need to be assessed and quoted. Most TELEC certification quotes for common products start at 10,000 yuan.

Bluetooth and WIFI product testing requirements

Test certification is verified for each equipment unit, and this certification is only valid for each verified equipment unit; the test items for WiFi and Bluetooth products are basically similar to the European standard EN300 328. Among them, 2.4GHz WiFi products (802.11b /g, 2412~2472 MHz) and Bluetooth products use the MIC Notice No.88 Annex43, but for the 14 channels of 2.4GHz WiFi products (Channel 14: 2471 ~ 2497MHz), Annex44 needs to be used separately for testing and reporting. Corresponding fees also need to be increased. For 5GHz WiFi products (802.11a, 5180~5320MHz, W52 Band and W53 Band), the test standard followed is Annex45. However, it should be noted that the data shows that MIC will modify Annex45 in the near future and include 5.6GHz equipment (Band W56). It is classified as Annex45 and has more stringent DFS test requirements for the Band 56 frequency band.

Bluetooth product test content

1. Frequency Error Measurement
2. Coupling bandwidth/carrier frequency bandwidth test (Occupied Bandwidth and Spread-spectrum Bandwidth / Factor)
3. Unwanted Emission Intensity Measurement
4. Antenna Power Error Measurement
5. Receiver spurious disturbance test (Limitation of Collateral Emission of Receiver Measurement)
6. Transmission Antenna Gain (EIRP Antenna Power) Measurement
7. Transmission Radiation Angle Width (3dB Beamwidth) Measurement
8. Duty Cycle Measurement
9. Retention time test
